The Ankarsrum Assistent Original mixer is built to last, and its high-quality components are designed to stand the test of time. But even the most durable mixing bowl can experience wear and tear with years of regular use. Whether you've cracked your plastic bowl, scratched the stainless steel one, or simply want a spare, replacing your Ankarsrum mixing bowl is a simple task—when you know what to look for.
This quick guide will help you identify the right replacement bowl for your Ankarsrum mixer, where to buy it, and how to install it without hassle.
1. Know Which Bowl You Need
Ankarsrum mixers come with two main bowl types:
-
Stainless Steel Bowl (7.4 qt) – Ideal for bread dough and heavy batters. This bowl is used with the roller and scraper system.
-
Clear Plastic Bowl (3.5 qt) – Best for whipping cream, beating eggs, and mixing lighter batters. Used with balloon whisks or cookie whisks.
Before ordering, double-check which bowl you need based on your mixing tasks and attachments.
2. Where to Find Replacement Bowls
To ensure proper fit and long-term durability, it’s important to buy genuine Ankarsrum bowls. Here’s where to look:
-
Authorized Retailers: Trusted sellers like Juicerville, Pleasant Hill Grain, and Everything Kitchens carry authentic Ankarsrum accessories, including mixing bowls.
-
Official Ankarsrum USA Website: You can browse and purchase replacement parts directly from the manufacturer for peace of mind.
-
Customer Support: If you're unsure about compatibility, reaching out to customer support (from Juicerville or Ankarsrum) can help you avoid mistakes.
⚠️ Avoid third-party knockoffs that might not fit correctly or be made of food-safe materials.
3. Installing the New Bowl
Swapping in your new bowl is incredibly easy:
For the Stainless Steel Bowl:
-
Remove the roller and scraper from the old bowl if still attached.
-
Lift the bowl off the mixer base.
-
Place the new bowl on the base, aligning it with the center pin.
-
Reattach the roller and scraper if needed.
For the Plastic Bowl:
-
Detach the whisks or drive shaft from the old bowl.
-
Lift the bowl and remove any attachments from the base.
-
Position the new plastic bowl securely onto the base.
-
Reinstall the drive shaft and whisks or cookie beaters.
That’s it! No tools or extra hardware needed.
4. Keep a Spare Bowl Handy
Many Ankarsrum users like to have an extra bowl on hand. This allows you to switch between recipes without needing to stop and wash the bowl in between. It's especially useful for multitasking during meal prep, baking marathons, or holiday cooking.
5. Care Tips to Extend Bowl Life
-
Hand Wash When Possible: While the bowls are dishwasher-safe, hand washing helps maintain their condition over time.
-
Avoid Abrasives: Use non-scratch sponges to keep surfaces looking new.
-
Dry Immediately: Especially for the stainless steel bowl, drying it right after washing prevents water spots or corrosion.
